Either I’m extremely dense, or there is something wrong with this crossword
REBAS#ULA
#HIS#BEIN
&#?E?RSES
&&#DEI###
&&&#SCAPE
&&&&#KRIS
&&&&&#MET
is a filled in square, & means not relavant to my question
from left to right, the down clues are:
Singer Cherry (NENEH)
Marceau role (BI?)
lubricated (GREASED)
Scale members (?ES) (RES? BES? CES? DES?)
Park Avenue, e.g. BRICK (?) (I’m pretty sure of the CK and B)
Permeates with dye (IMBUES)
Reporter Bly (NELLIE)
Campus bigwigs (DEANS)
The across clue I’m tring to figure out is Reads (?E?RSES) the only word that seems to fit is HEARSES which isn’t right.
I thought park avenue could be BLOCK, but (?E?LSES) doesn’t fit anything
(DEI is “Agnes ?”) so I’m pretty sure of the “I”
SCAPE is “Painting of a scene”
As per usual, I’ll figure it out 5 min after posting, but if I don’t thanks for any help.
